About the tree felling permit laval


About authorization for the felling tree in Laval

Property owners are required to get a certificate of authorization for the felling of a leafy tree 30 mm or 3 cm in diameter or more and of any conifer 150 cm high or more, regardless of the location of the tree in the field. ​The application form for a tree-felling permit is available below.

The felled tree must be replaced with a new tree before the date shown on the permit.

Valid reasons for felling a tree : 

  • ​The tree is dead

  • The tree is in a state of irreversible decline

  • The tree must be felled to limit the spread of a disease or an invasive exotic pest

  • The tree poses a danger to public safety or property due to one or more major structural weaknesses, making it impossible to perform corrective arboriculture work.

  • The tree must be felled in order to build or develop a structure requiring the issuance of a permit (renovation, expansion of a curb cut, etc.)

A fee of $75 per felled tree will be applied to ensure that the proper felling procedure was observed. Complete the form and send to :
